A car convoy with Khalistan flags on a Canadian highway is making headlines – accompanied by dramatic claims that the convoy is on its way to confront Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the G7 summit. While such language may be highly charged, one thing is clear: the protest is directed at Modi and deliberately coincides with his visit to Canada.
The incident fits into a broader pattern of Khalistan demonstrations abroad, where supporters accuse Modi of suppressing Sikh rights. So far, there are no signs of violence or a concrete threat. Still, the media and political impact of these highly symbolic convoys is unlikely to go unnoticed by the security services of both countries.
